  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The person assigned by the performing organization to achieve the project objectives






2. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






3. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






4. Subsystem of overall project management system. collection of formal documented procedures that defines how project work will be authorized to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time and in the proper sequence.






5. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






6. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques

8. The process of managing procurement relationships - monitoring contract performance - and making changes and corrections as needed






9. Identifying and documenting relationships among project activities






10. Determining project stakeholder information needs and defining a communication approach






11. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






12. Estimate or prediction of conditions and events in the projects future based on information and knowledge available at the time of the forecast. information is based on the project's past performance and expected future performance






13. Requests to expand or reduce the project scope - modify policies - processes - plans or procedures - modify costs or budgets - or revise schedules






14. Tracking team member performance - providing feedback - resolving issues and managing changes to optimize project performance






15. Shortening the project schedule duration without reducing the project scope






16. Information system consisting of tools and techniques to gather - integrate and disseminate the outputs of project management processes.

21. Aggregating the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish an authorized cost baseline






22. Buyer pays the seller a set amount (as defined by the contract) and the seller can earn an additional amount if the seller meets defined performance criteria






23. Management methodology for integrating scope - schedule and resources and for objectively measuring project performance and progress. performance is measured by determining the budgeted cost of work performed (earned value) and comparing it to the ac






24. Specific type of management activity that contributes to the execution of a process and that may employ one or more techniques and tools






25. The formally documented identification of a defect in a project component with a recommendation to either repair the defect or completely replace the component






26. Analytical technique to determine the essential features and relationships of components in the project management plan to establish a reserve for the schedule duration - budget - estimated cost or funds for a project






27. The sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed on a project or a work breakdown structure component or a schedule activity. the total planned value for the project






28. Processes required to manage the timely completion of a project






29. A method of estimating a component of work. the work is decomposed into more detail. an estimate is prepared of what is needed to meet the requirements of each of the lower - more detailed pieces of work - and these estimates are then aggregated into






30. Type of procurement document used to request price quotations from prospective sellers of common or standard products or services






31. Reserve






32. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






33. Something toward which work is to be directed - a strategic position to be attained - or a purpose to be achieved - a result to be obtained - a product to produced or a service to be performed






34. Aggregation of the processes - tools - techniques - methodologies - resources and procedures to manage a project

40. A request - demand or assertion of rights by a seller against a buyer or vice versa for consideration - compensation - or payment under the terms of a legally binding contract (such as for a disputed change)






41. Defining how to conduct risk management activities for a project






42. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed






43. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






44. Project model that translates the uncertainties specified at a detailed level into the potential impact on objectives that are expressed at the level of the total project. Monte Carlo Analysis






45. Calculated projection of cost performance that must be achieved on the remaining work to meet a specified management goal. ratio of remaining work to funds remaining






46. Slack - Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.
